They spent part of one day at the beach and he sent me this picture. At the time we were experiencing cold, rainy weather. I was so jealous!

Logan got his first haircut...So cute!

And now for our

JT and Kaela are engaged!

They hiked to the top of a mountain in St. Lucia.

JT got down on one knee, on his 30th birthday, and asked his beloved Kaela to be his wife.

They look so happy in all these pictures....but...

Little did we know that in a few days they would trade these beautiful scenic views...

for a view from a room at The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Dear sweet Kaela was biking and hiking around St.Lucia with a ruptured appendix.

Somehow they made it home and went right to the ER. Because her appendix has ruptured, the only treatment is IV antibiotics for the very serious infection that has set in. She may still need surgery but for now we are just waiting for the antibiotics to do their job. She has quite a road ahead of her to recovery but at least she can spend the time in the hospital dreaming about her wedding.And think of the story they will have to tell their children and grandchildren about their St. Lucia engagement!
